It's pretty disgusting how some of the people are acting but like I said before, most of the people at Cher's are mature enough not to come on here and post. Most of the trolls are from http://www.darkangeltv.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi so instead of coming to Cher's to attack them, go there instead since it's really encouraged there.

Thanks for that

I've read some posts on these DA MGBs. Though many are realists, smart and civil, some are beyond (gonna be nice here) naive -- holding out some ridiculous hope that DA will return. Any hoax, or joke announcment, or posted rumor that DA is renewed sends everyone ... well, it's just sad. Or it would be if it weren't so damned funny. One poster wondered if FOX could be sued for false advertising (?!).

Strange, I don't see anybody posting on *their* site saying DA sucks. I would never bother to post there, even to say something kind. It would be a waste of time.

*whine* DA SUX U GUYS R DA REAL LUSRS!!! */whine*

hmmm... yeah I'm too mature for that...

Shoe: funny. You are indeed the voice of reason. Actually, methinks the trolling will stop when DA is rene -- Hahahaha ... Oh, man...

why does every post on this board turn into a DA vs. Firefly debate?? i know this thread is about DA fans attacking the official Firefly boards, but the last 5 or so threads i just read have turned into the said debate. someone posts a rationally thought, someone posts back something constructive about first thought, then a troll posts something just to be a pain, and voila, DA vs. Firefly debate.

i didn't think we were meant to be feeding the trolls? maybe this board does need moderators, just do we can have some fresh uninterrupted discusion. i want to discuss firefly, and everything else joss related, not why or how Firefly replaced DA, and how much it sucks.

whine...This sucks... (well it does)

I posted there to give the DA fans some advice, since as a B5 fan I know what it's like to get screwed over by networks. Being negative never works--that's basically what I told them. They should find a better way to get the show back.

As for the logic that FF took DA's slot on Friday, wouldn't that mean that Malcom In The Middle was responsible for the demise of X-Files.(thanks Frankie)

I gotta agree with you. The only thing that will keep them quiet is if the pilot rocks and gets great reviews...but if it doesn't...

Ultimately, what does it really matter what anyone says?

I've been watching shows in the fantasy and sci-fi genre for most of my life, and if there's one thing I've found it's that shows in these genres are cancelled all the time. While it's necessary to acknowledge that sometimes a little fan response can go a long way (look at the infamous Tabasco campaign of Roswell), at the same time, being abrasive and obnoxious to fans of a new show is about as non-productive as you can get. When you like a genre as expensive and as specialized as sf/f, you have to just deal with the fact that sometimes shows you really like aren't going to do well.

I guess my point is that we'd probably do best to focus on our positive, ignoring trolling and mourning-for-DA-gone-malicious.

Of course, I could be wrong.

I have to appologize for other DA fans, I'm a Buffy/Angel fan AND a Dark Angel fan and I remember someone saying "you can't like both", which was so stupid. I'm not giving up Angel or Buffy.

Yeah, I'll miss DA , but the Firefly attacks are getting stupid. I'm just moving on to "Birds of Prey" and getting over it. It's gone, we can't change it. I'm over it

It's sad I can't see me to watching Firefly, since I use to watch Jewel Staite in Higher Ground and another show. And Gina Torres was the only reason I watch that stupid "Cleopatra 2525". She was also cool in the Hercules/Xena series.

Trolling is still alive and well at the official board, as some regulars still feel the need to respond. Wish they'd stop.

Unfortunately even if a campaign "saves" a show the results tend to be "unfortunate."
